- It is the largest tree on Earth by volume: General Sherman holds about 1,500 cubic metres of wood.
- Fire helps it: heat dries the cones so they release seeds onto cleared, sunny soil.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
